The Music Never Stopped
June 17, 1976
Capitol Theater

Swirling, cohesive and inspired. It may not hit the rousing peaks of 78, but it's damn fine.

The Wheel
June 15, 1976
Beacon Theatre

Ecstatic and confident with a sweet transition into Sugar Mags.

Mexicali Blues
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

This one takes a sharp left turn into some weird tones and aggressive soloing from Keith and Jerry.

Deal
May 17, 1974
P.N.E. Coliseum

Country rock pulsing with jazzy energy. One of the most exciting pre-hiatus versions.

One More Saturday Night
Nov. 10, 1973
Winterland Arena

Fierce yet loose. Lots of fun is being had and it's infectious.

Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Meadowlands Arena

This is one of those songs that really lets you know whether or not Jerry was into it that night. His vocals here let you know right away that this is going to be a special night.

The Austin Municipal Auditorium

Clean and high-energy, almost rivals the definitive version from Skull & Roses.

One of the best Space jams I've ever heard post-coma.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

Drums travels some sinister territory here. Truly inspired.
